Pokemon Go appears to have gotten its latest shiny monsters in the form of Pikachu and Raichu.

As reported by Comicbook.com, Niantic hadn't announced the addition of the rarer form of Pikachu (which comes in a darker shade of yellow, and has a special "shiny" animation), but those attending the Pikachu Outbreak events in Japan have been able to capture them.
